Restaurants

Greenville, South Carolina is one of our favorite places to visit. It is a short hour drive down the mountain to the downtown area and the Peace Center where we have visited often for concerts and shows. The downtown area is amazing with block after Continue reading →

We passed Gullah Grub Restaurant on our way to Fripp Island and I said “We have to eat there!”. You know how often I share about great restaurants here on It’s Just Life and I just had the feeling that Gullah Grub would be a Continue reading →

I happened upon Dandelion – a new to me restaurant last month in Hendersonville, NC. My sister and brother in law were in town, I had a hair appointment in Hendersonville and offered to take them to lunch if they wanted to tag along and Continue reading →

After a long day of flying to get to South Dakota we were thrilled to find the Dakatoh Steakhouse was close to our hotel. Who doesn’t want to enjoy a great meal after spending extended time in the air? Outside the restaurant was my favorite Continue reading →

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about.

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
